Maxi's first week in a groundbreaking gamified workplace is disrupted by a snarling, drooling printer with large, pointy teeth and a murderous disposition. After nearly becoming the red toner liquid refill during a killer inkjet's afternoon snack, Maxi decides to investigate the mysterious company that's more associated with slimes, zombies, and dragons than office work. Luckily, she is equipped with an interface that is similar to her favorite RPG-style video games. For once, being a gamer will be good for more than just getting a couple bucks during her live streams. Maxi normally enjoys LitRPG Urban Fantasy adventures, just not the dying part. Hopefully she can max her levels before the end is nigh and the beasties devour humanity.
